How do I update my version of PowerPoint?

Updating to the latest service pack for your version of PowerPoint?
OR
Upgrading to a newer version of PowerPoint?


Wait, before you answer that, it may help to know what version of Microsoft PowerPoint you already have.

Click Help -> About Microsoft PowerPoint
In newer versions (i.e. PowerPoint 2003), click Help -> About Microsoft Office PowerPoint

It should say something like:
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (11.6564.6568) SP2
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003

The latest service pack update for Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 is Service Pack 3 (SP3).

To check for Microsoft Office and/or Microsoft PowerPoint updates (i.e. service pack updates) for your
version, use any one of the methods I have noted below:

A) In Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, click Help -> Check for Updates

B) Go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/default.aspx
and click the "Check for Updates" link.
A list of products supported can be found here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010402221033.aspx#langSupport

C) Go to
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/
and click the "Express" button.
A list of Microsoft products that Microsoft Update supports can be found on the "FAQ" link under the question
"Which products does Microsoft Update support?" which is approximately half way down the page after the large
table of supported Windows operating systems.



If you want to upgrade to Microsoft PowerPoint 2003, you will need to purchase it.

Or you could get an Office 2003 Edition that includes PowerPoint 2003.
